Permanent Democratic Majority: New Study Says Yes

I think its more of an attitude change than a demographic change. Americans are starting to realize that it is a new world order and though we lead the pack, the handwriting is on the wall. We have to be able to lead by example now, not just force.

No Permanent nothing. Democrats may have the demographic winds in their sails but they still have to deliver. Get your @!$%# together, Congressional Dems, and stop listening to Blue Dogs and Republicans.

Democrats "currently" have a majority. That could easily change. Agree with agio, of the Blue Dog democrats don't start syncing up with the administration's goals. Obamacrats (Obama democrats, republican's and independents) will vote them out for going with the status-quo and deemed support of Republican leaders. If they don't work with the Democrat majority, the DNC will drop their support during elections as well. If they don't vote with the democratic majority, they will find themselves as independents which will better test the will of their local voter base.

I won't knock them for for their votes if they feel their local base really wants them to vote as they are. Just kinda short sighted on their part if they don't see down the road.

I think it's true that the Republican message appears very week right now.

The real threat to the Democratic party is not from any faction within that party. It's from power - power corrupts. We need to be moral, vigilant, moderate, and avoid war whenever possible, and we need leaders as competent as President Obama.

As much fun and vindication as I get watching the Republicans self-destruct, I wish they wouldn't, for the sake of our nation. If they would grow up and join us in trying to make this a successful nation for all of us, even they would be better off. A healthy - from all points of view - opposition works for the people, it's in our national interests. The Republicans, however, seem powerless to stop their nasty attacks and their insistence that they must have their way, and theirs alone, even as a minority. There's a lot of work to do, enough for all of us.

I qualify the above with the observation that I won't have a Republican majority in Congress, or a Republican President, again in my lifetime if I can help it. God forbid we're again subjuct to such a plundering of our economy, freedom, and standing in the world. Nevertheless, a one-party government isn't good for us, either. Grow up, Republicans! Just grow freakin' up, already!

Democratic policies over the last 2 years have ticked off most of the electorate. Nov 2 may be a prelude to 100 years of republican rule. Maybe now the democrats will "get a clue".
